The wonderful two-volume work on the Crabb family by Richard Prall, 14104 Piedras Rd. NE, Albuquerqe, NM 87123, contains considerable information on the Sprigg/Spriggs families in the Maryland Colony in 1600s-1700, including Col Thos Sprigg Sr and Jr. An earlier inquiry gave a long quotation from Mr Prall's book, but the writer did not know what the book was. I am descended from Priscilla Sprigg, daughter of Thomas Sprigg. She was the mother of Edward Crabb. There is also a LOT of information on the Spriggs in the "LDS Family Search" website, if you're interested.
